Peter Benoit returns in ‘A Million Little Things’ Season 4 Episode 16
The A Million Little Things Season 4 Episode 16 begins with a celebratory dinner. They celebrate Maggie and Gary moving in together and Eddie’s autograph signing the next day. Then, Anna secretly grabs a shot at the bar and runs into an old friend, Carly (Robyn Ross). Anna finds out that her friend is dating her ex-husband, Peter Benoit. She can’t believe that Carly would date Peter after hearing Sophie’s testimony on Maggie’s podcast.
Anna has an outburst, and Gary suggests Peter leave. However, Peter refuses. Instead, Peter points out that Gary looks familiar (Viewers should recall that Gary and Christopher attacked Peter). Gary responds by threatening him, and the group of four decide to leave. When Eddie drops Anna off at her house, she insists that he doesn’t need to stay with her. However, when she walks away, viewers can tell the run-in with Peter is still on her mind.

Meanwhile, Tyrell finds out he was not accepted to his fallback school, the University of Southern California. After a pep talk, Tyrell finds out that he was accepted into Yale University and thanks Rome for being an amazing father. Then Rome returns Dre’s call and takes the teaching job.
Meanwhile, Regina and Valerie (Andrea Navedo) lose a catering job because Valerie made a mistake, forgetting a gluten-free allergy. She insists that Regina should find someone else. However, Regina explains that she would rather have someone she trusts. The two end up selling all of the food they made out of the truck.

‘A Million Little Things’ Season 4 Episode 16: Who killed Peter Benoit?
Later, Maggie and Gary visit their fertility specialist and find that her eggs are in the best position. When they get home to make a baby, Detective Saunders (Brian Markinson) confronts Gary about Peter. He tells Maggie and Gary that Peter Benoit is dead. They provide Gary’s alibi and new address.
When Eddie finally goes to Anna’s house, she says she broke her phone. She’s also acting weird. The clues dropped in A Million Little Things Season 4 Episode 16 point to Anna Benoit as the cause of Peter’s death. However, as the detective noted, it could be an accident since he fell down the stairs in his home. There was no evidence of a forced entry, but that might be because Anna still has a key.
Detective Saunders visits Gary’s new residence with Maggie to tell him that he corroborated his story. However, Rome overhears the detective mentioning the doctor and gets worried. Gary and Maggie tell Rome and Regina that they are trying to have a baby.
According to IMDb, A Million Little Things Season 4 airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EST on ABC and is available for streaming the next day on Hulu.
